The present disclosure provides materials and articles of clothing including a plurality of nanocapsules, each nanocapsule including a polymeric shell surrounding at least one fluid, and a plurality of polymeric fibers co-spun with the plurality of nanocapsules. The nanocapsules can be made by miniemulsion polymerization. The encapsulated at least one fluid can include at least one essential oil. In some embodiments, the materials are deodorizing, antifungal, and/or antibacterial. Methods of manufacturing the materials and articles of clothing are also provided.

Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. A technique includes using machine learning to create or extract a laser input file for wear pattern from an existing garment. Machine learning can be by a generative adversarial network, having generative and discriminative neural nets. The generative adversarial network is trained and then used to create a model. This model is used generate the laser input file from an image of the existing garment with the finishing pattern. With this laser input file, a laser can re-create the wear pattern from the existing garment onto a new garment.

Methods and systems are presented for configuring a bib assembly to have a hanging portion and first and second ends with attachment features for releasable engagement. The hanging portion may, in some variants, include one or more exposed bights configured to engage a pacifier, toy, or other infant care appliance.

The present invention concerns an article of apparel including: a first woven area, where the first woven area includes a first weaving density and a first yarn weight per unit length; a second woven area arranged adjacent to the first woven area, where the second woven area includes a second weaving density and a second yarn weight per unit length; and a third woven area arranged adjacent to the second woven area, where the third woven area includes a third weaving density and a third yarn weight per unit length. The second weaving density in the second woven area changes gradually from the first weaving density to the third weaving density and/or the second yarn weight per unit length in the second woven area changes gradually from the first yarn weight per unit length to the third yarn weight per unit length.

A top band (1, 1) for garments (2), in particular for medical compression stockings or bandages, comprising a flexible basic body (3, 3) with an inside (4, 4) facing the garment (2) and an outside (5, 5), wherein the flexible basic body (3, 3) comprises a fastening section (7, 7) for the garment (2) on the inside (4, 4) next to a coupling section (6, 6), and wherein the fastening section (7, 7) is formed by an edge-side recess (8, 8) in the flexible basic body (3, 3), so that the garment (2) can be fastened, offset from the coupling section (6, 6) of the flexible basic body (3, 3), in the recess (8, 8).

A mount for a device configured to monitor the movements or other activities of patient. Aspects include a monitoring unit and base, where the base may further include a pad with one or more pins extending into the base. The pad may be positioned inside a garment worn by a patient, the pins passing through the garment and electrically connecting to circuits in the fabric of the garment (e.g. a sock worn by the patient). The circuits may include sensors which are response to changes in pressure caused by patient movement. Output from the sensors may be carried by the circuits in the garment to the pins in the pad, and from there through the garment and into the base and the monitoring unit for processing and reporting to caregivers as needed.

A method of manufacturing a one-piece textile by a jacquard machine includes a preparation step, a jacquard weaving step, a textile separation step, and a textile ironing step. A woven cloth is made of the method and includes a base fabric and multiple textiles connected with the base fabric by at least one sewing area. The woven cloth is a one-piece structure made by a jacquard machine. The textiles are separated by trimming the at least one sewing area from the woven cloth. Each textile is a complete product with a one-piece structure without sewing. The manufacturing method can improve the efficiency of textile production.

A burping bib formed from a panel of material which can be used as both a bib and as a burping cloth, the burping bib having a central opening and opposing longitudinal ends, with the front portion of the panel being longer than the rear portion.

The present disclosure provides articles of manufacture with improved moisture control as well as methods of making such articles. In some embodiments, provided herein the article has a fabric with an outer hydrophobic surface and an inner surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions where the hydrophilic regions can form a pattern, allowing moisture to collect and move through the pattern, and the hydrophobic regions prevent the whole inner surface from becoming moist and the outer hydrophobic regions does not show moisture. The fabric may be used to make garments. The entire inner surface of the garment may be patterned with hydrophilic patterns for partial absorption, and the entire outer surface of the garment is hydrophobic, thereby preventing perspiration from being seen from outside of the garment. Further provided herein are methods of making fabrics with improved moisture control including by printing or knitting.

A planar, flexible textile element that is suitable in particular as a baby sling, made of at least 90% natural fibers and/or fibers produced from natural fibers, and having a mesh structure.
